Birthdayy!!!

Yesterday was fun! We went and saw Harry Potter, in german, i didnt understand it haha but i still enjoyed watching it!!! Ive learned to just make up what i think people are saying.. sometimes its more funny that way haha.. Svenja, her boyfriend, her brother, and i all stayed up until 12 so we could have a small glass of Sekt (like cheap champagne)and listen to german music for my birthday.. i loved the music but not the sekt ha. We had fried ham (tasted like bacon yummm) and eggs for breakfast.. i usually dont eat eggs unless they are scrambled but i ate them anyways and enjoyed it.. they grow all kinds of fruits and vegetables in their garden that i am learning to love! We had redcurrent and blackcurrent.. i dont know what they are.. but they taste like blueberries and we eat them in a bowl with milk.. its fantastic!! For my birthday Svenja gave me a cool shirt, some cute socks, a day calendar, and amazinggg candy! haha Her grandmother made me a buttercreme frosting cake that looks wonderful! we get to eat it tonight after we grill out.. aka sausage hahaha woohoo.. they said i get to try liver soon too.. haha yay
**if you love attention, become an exchange student, everywhere i meet people they are amazed and want to teach me german or practice their english... haha its entertaining..
alsoo.. We went to the lake yesterday.. it was funn! the water was freezing though.. haha at the pools and around the lake there is always a field with nice grass that everyone lays in until it is hot.. rather than pool chairs on some cement like we do in america.. they know how to do it right here hahah.. so after laying in the grass and getting warm we went swimming then hang out on the blanket in the grass again when we are finished to dry off..
My birthday has been wonderful so far. i miss everyone at home.. and ill keep this updated as often as i can =)
i love and miss everyone, especially my family xoxo
